Australia struggle at 67/7, trail by 83 runs; Record 17 wickets fell on Day 1

The Border Gavaskar trophy saw a record-breaking first day in Perth. As many as 17 wickets fell, which is the highest number of wickets on the first day in Australia since 1952. All of those 17 wickets fell to seamers who feasted on a spicy pitch at the Perth Stadium.

There was movement from beginning to end, new ball or semi-new, and the pitch even seemed to quicken up as the day went on. India were bowled out for 150 after opting to bat first, with Josh Hazlewood taking a four-fer. That they even got there was thanks to some attacking batting from Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy on debut as they shared a 48-run stand for the seventh wicket.

In response, Jasprit Bumrah came out breathing fire and bowled a spell to remember with the new ball. Australia's top-order didn't seem to stand a chance against him, and they didn't get much respite even after his spell as Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj exploited the conditions quite well.

So somehow, after being bowled out for 150, India has finished the day on top. Australia managed to put 67/7 at the stumps on Day 1 and trailed India by 83 runs.
